Naked Chick

 "A cat looks at a five-month-old chicken in Laoshan, northern China's Shandong Province, that has never grown any feathers. According to owner Lao Yin the featherless chicken was amongst nearly 2,000 youngsters born recently at his chicken farm. "I started to notice it was different 10 days after its birth, as others were fluffy, while he is almost naked," said Lao. He has now called it Ha Mao (Mr. Feather). Apparently, not only has Hao Mao grown no feathers, but he has also put on weight very slowly, weighing less than half a kilogram while its peers are 2-3 kg. Lao also owns a farm restaurant and Ha Mao is quite a celebrity there. "Some customers are dedicated to coming to visit and take pictures with it. And some even offered me high prices for it, but I refused.""
